Several times in the past I've seen bloggers share their pictures from this gift exchange and kicked myself for missing out. This time I jumped in for the chance to get to know someone else a little better and to trade sweet goodies. If you did not participate, you may wonder what this would have to do with you.... well, I always love to see gift ideas that others share. You might know someone who would love to receive a gift like this. Tuck this fun gift idea into the back of your mind. :)

Lynn knew exactly which colors we use in our home and she sent tea towels and hand painted items that I will lovingly use and display. She knew that I love coffee and flowers and included pieces from the Pioneer Woman's dish collection in my gift box.

Lynn handmade flowers from crepe paper. I love her creativity! Just look at the pretty little wooden painting and the painted gift bag. I think I'll gather up a jar and put fresh flowers in it then tuck it all inside that pretty painted bag. :)

She knew that I love gardening and sent a magazine for inspiration.

I can tell you that I've already spent hours looking at this magazine. Now I'm ready to dig into the coffee and chocolate. Lynn I hope you read this and know that you knocked my socks off! You were kind and generous with your gift and I thank you for it. ♥

Dear Stacey, what joy it was when I found out from Dear Stephanie that you were my mug partner! I love you light airy blog and of course all of the color! It has been a great pleasure to get to know you better. Spring is such a wonderful time of the year to delight in the beauty around us, and I am sure as you plan your home and garden it will be absolutely gorgeous! Have a wonderful week. Love, Lynn

Oh Stacey, what wonderful gifts were made and chosen and sent to you, in such happy colors, by Lynn. Isn't this the most fun exchange ever, organized by our gracious and kind hostess, Stephanie? Enjoy all your special gifts, sweet friend!

This was my 3rd time in the exchange. (I have only exchanged teacups so far.) I always forget to photograph what I send out. Cynthia send a package of treasures to me, and is now a new friend. I am so blessed.

I will always try to join in on the exchange fun as long as I am able, and as long as Stephanie is willing to sweetly organize it. ♥

You received and sent such lovely gifts, dearest Stacey, I'm participating for the first time and it was such an exciting experience to me, it's a stunning idea to bring women together from around the world, isn't it, my loving friend ?

Dear Stacey, so glad you joined in the exchange this season. It truly is fun and a blessings meeting and making 2 new friends. Lynn is a sweetheart and she gifted you with such pretties from Pioneer Woman. I think a few of us were thinking along these lines for the gorgeous colors and such. How perfect to receive a gardening magazine too. Lynn knew just the perfect thing for you. Tea time and to relax and dream with the magazine and treats.Have fun visiting the reveals. Have a great week my friend. xo

Hi Stacey,You received a lovely package and the colors are so bright and cheerful! The flowers on the mug are so pretty! So are the tissue flowers!! Such thought went into the wrapping--so nice! Enjoy!Linda

How sweet, Stacey - and I love all the goodies you got!! All those bright colors make me think fondly of spring sunshine....while the rain is pouring down outside my window. Thanks for brightening my day!

I'm so happy that you joined in the fun this time! Didn't you love it?The items you received are so pretty with great color! Enjoy reading your new magazine, it's a great one, I'm sure! Blessings, Cindy xo

Oh, how pretty! Such a blessing to meet you today and so sweet to see how God orchestrates our introductions through sweet Stephanie. I am so thankful you enjoyed doing this and were so blessed. :) God is so good!

This looks like such fun! I've seen several reveals of teacups, mugs, chocolate, coffee, tea and more and not a one disappoints! All are absolutely beautiful in every way. You certainly hit the jackpot with all these gifts -- and how wonderful that they just fit you to a "T" (or a Java!)

Beautiful treasures - that gift bag caught my eye right away and I can't believe it's hand-painted! So much thought and preparation went into your gift with those paper flowers and all of the attention to detail!

What a beautiful package of goodies, and what fun it must have been to find it in your mail! I LOVE swaps like that and you can bet I'll have my eye open for the next one. Happy mail is one of the great perks of blogging. Now I'm off to visit all the links in your post. I am not familiar with some of them so I look forward to finding some great new blogs to follow :)

Stacey, I'm glad you were able to participate in the exchange. I am where you were earlier. Maybe I will be able to participate in the fall exchange. It is wonderful to get such a personalized gift. Congratulations! Sylvia D.

How fun! Such a pretty teacup. I am catching up on blogs today since we have storms all around. Went back and looked at the progress on your new home-so pretty and I love your choices. I'm happy that you will have a bigger garden to "play" in! Happy Spring!

Your gift is fabulous Stacey! Lynn certainly is very talented. Love the painted treasures she sent you!! Every year I think I'll join this exchange and every year I don't seem to remember. lol! Thanks for sharing with SYC.hugs,Jann

Such a fun delicious gift you received! That cup is so bold and happy and I'm sure you're going to enjoy it. How nice that you joined the exchange. It was my first time also, and I think I'm hooked. :) I hope you have a wonderful day!
